It's gone. Wanted to ask over here before I went to check on Reddit.

You're just angry because they won't let you steal Intellectual Property to your heart's content, keep seething filthy pirate.

soulless profit-extracting corporations do not need you to simp for them

also quit using so many alts dude, take the hint when you get banned

You're absolutely right, they don't they have politicians, lawyers, and police on their side.

But it is important that people know that what they're doing is illegal that way they're not surprised when they're sitting in a jail cell after downloading a full collection of hollywood movies, or needing to sell their home to pay the fines.

Also No, I'll stop once the pirates leave lemmy.world, then I'll join back under a new account probably a new name and moderate some nice homebrew communites (no Piracy allowed).

my dude all your other alts of identical names spend their entire time spamming anti-lgtbq hate

nobody wants to be part of your communities. it should be zero surprise you're a reddit moderator too, perhaps you should stay over there.

I'm angry because believers in intellectual properties are still breathing, and therefore stealing my oxygen

I love IP, they can protect my business identity and other valuable things in the world. Please don't blame IP, they don't need our oxygen. Blame the whiny toolbag.

So, you support the corporations charging abusive prices and fees to post record profits every quarter?... I'm not going to say piracy is right, ethical or should be legal, but I get it.

When we talk about abusive corporation being unethical, maybe a part of us should see the opposite as ethical too?

And piracy is not even a opposite backlash, it's a way around that helps out a lot of people in different scenarios. I used to pirate games as a kid because I didn't have any money and now I'm one of those who has youtube premium for convinience.

And there are hell of a lot more positive use cases like sharing censored data and general p2p file sharing
